Failure to do so can result in injury or death, damage the equipment and/or building and can be a cause of poor indoor air quality. Equipment must be installed so that sufficient working clearance and component access is provided. Some units are designed for cantilevered installation. Consult the Submittal Record for specific unit mounting. Consult the Submittal Record for specific unit mounting. Engineered Air units are constructed for three types of mounting: 1. Base mounting – Consult the Submittal Record for type of mounting. Unless the unit is specifically

designed for point or other mounting, the base of the unit must be supported continuously by a mounting support system that is directly below the unit structural base frame and runs the entire length and width of the unit. Refer to the Submittal Record for mounting information. Units 100” (2500mm) wide and under can be supported on each side continuously along the length of the unit. As a minimum, sleepers that are installed perpendicular to the length of the unit must be continuous across the width of the unit and shall be installed at the end lifting point base rails and the lesser of 80” (2000mm) on center or at all lifting points.

2. Suspended mounting – Where units have been designed for suspended mounting, factory provided

connections for hanger rods will be provided. All hanger rod supports must be used. Suspended units must be protected from damage. When installed in aircraft hangers, parking garages or repair garages the installation must comply where applicable with:

a) The Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, C.S.A. Standard B149.1 b) The Standard on Aircraft Hangers, ANSI/NFPA 409 c) The Standard on Parking Garages, ANSI/NFPA 88A d) The Standard on Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA 88B

3. Roof curb mounting – The curbs are constructed of heavy gauge load bearing, galvanized steel,

and must be fully insulated after installation. Wood nailer strips are provided for easy attachment of roof flashing. Gasket material is supplied with the unit and must be field mounted on the curb to seal the joint between the curb and the unit frame. The curb must be supported along its entire perimeter and any full height cross members as shown on the shop drawings. Point loading of curbs is not permissible. The gasket material provided for the curb is closed cell foam. Closed cell foam is dense and does not compress easily. If the unit is split and shipped in sections there will also be gasket material for sealing between sections. The gasket material for splits is open cell foam. It is less dense than the closed cell foam and compresses easily. ONLY USE THE CLOSED CELL FOAM GASKET PROVIDED FOR SEALING THE CURB. Curbs may be broken down for shipping. Field assembly is required by the installing contractor. Bolt all sections together at split joints using hardware provided. The installing contractor must caulk and seal all joint and corner flashings. All flashings and braces that are provided must be installed. DO NOT screw/penetrate joint, corner or adaptor flashings. Refer to assembly instructions sent with roof curb.

SHIPPING MATERIALS

Remove shipping materials. Shipping materials may include, but are not limited to:

• Protective covers over openings, inlets, condenser coils etc. • Protective covers over split sections if provided. • Tie-down bolts, straps and blocks on fan and compressor vibration isolators. • Tie-down bolts, straps and blocks on tilt equipped heat pipes and enthalpy/desiccant wheels if

supplied. • Indirect fired heat exchangers may be supported with wood for shipping. Remove.

ASSEMBLY

Warning: Assembly of split units requires bolting together the base frame of adjacent sections. This may require personnel to work under the unit during assembly. Injury or death can result from improper support or improper loading of the curb. Additional temporary support shall be provided by the installer for the safety of personnel.

If the unit is split and shipped in sections, the sections must be field assembled. All sections are pre-drilled for assembly. The hardware and gaskets are packed in one of the sections. Apply the gasket, align the sections. The base frame must be bolted together first. Access below the unit for bolting of the base frame must be provided. Once the base frame has been tightly fastened, loosely assemble all the bolts and nuts, and then tighten. Caulk all split lines. Install split joint caps. The inlet hood is designed for field installation. On outdoor units connect the hood to the support flange and attach with appropriate fasteners. Connect all wiring on units that had been split for shipment. The gasket material provided for the split is open cell foam. Open cell foam is light and compresses easily. If the unit is mounted on a curb provided by Engineered Air there will also be gasket material for sealing the curb. The gasket material for curbs is closed cell foam. It is more dense than open cell foam and does not compress as easily. ONLY USE THE OPEN CELL FOAM GASKET PROVIDED FOR SEALING THE SPLIT(S). Split unit wiring All split wiring must be completed by an electrician prior to starting the equipment. A number of different methods are used to reconnect the wiring. Power wire: this wiring is generally not broken or spliced, and will extend from the device back to the contactor or terminal block inside the electrical panel(s). The wire will be tagged to identify which panel it extends to and will be numbered to the corresponding connection. The location of the equipment split line may result in the wire being disconnected at the device it is feeding. The wire bundle will be tagged and identified. Confirm correct rotation of 3 phase devices after the wiring connections has been completed. Control wire: this wire is typically broken near the split line, to be reconnected at either a enclosed terminal block, junction box or extended to a nearby control panel. Each wire or wire bundle will be tagged and numbered to indicate the location it is sent to. Sensor wire shield: The drain wire from the shield must be grounded (at one end only). A ground connection point is available for connection at the point of termination.

Notes: 1) The field wiring load depends on the actual load on a particular control circuit the field wiring is

connected to. Refer to the internal wiring diagram of the unit. 2) The table above is based on a maximum 10% voltage drop on a 24V control circuit. Wire size was

calculated using the following formula: CM = (25 x I x L ) / V Where CM is circular mils of conductor for a constant load of I amps, wire length L in feet from the unit to the field device and back, and voltage drop V.

When connecting to a three phase power supply, check for the correct rotation of all motors and fans. If the rotation is incorrect, reverse the rotation at the incoming power only. All electrical conduit outlets in the control panel must be sealed to prevent moist building air from migrating to the control panel. All penetrations through the unit walls must be caulked and sealed to prevent air and/or water from entering the unit.

DUCT MOUNTED TE-6000-EA3 TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Some applications require field installed discharge air sensors. The sensor strip must be parallel to the air flow. The sensor should be mounted near the center of a straight duct 5 to 10 feet (1500 to 3000mm) downstream of the supply air connection to the Engineered Air unit. Avoid installing near duct transitions or elbows. Use twisted pair or shielded wiring. The ground shield should be grounded only at the unit control panel end. Protect the opposite end ground and any unused wire with electrical tape. When installing an Engineered Air TE-6000-EA3 duct mounted temperature sensor, the sensor strip must be parallel to the air flow as shown.

COIL CONNECTIONS

This equipment may require field connection of water, steam or refrigerant coils. For proper operation airflow must be counterflow to the flow of the fluid. The inlet water connection is normally at the bottom of one header and the outlet water connection at the top of the other header. The steam connection is at the middle of the supply header and the condensate is at the bottom of the other header.

Caution:

Use a backup wrench on threaded coil connections when installing piping.

For refrigerant coils, all piping is to be installed by a qualified refrigeration mechanic. All refrigeration specialties shall be installed using good refrigeration installation and design practices. Recovery, reuse, recycling, reclamation, and safe disposal of refrigerant is the only acceptable practice today. Venting of refrigerant into the atmosphere during installation or servicing is unacceptable. To avoid damage, use an accepted refrigerant recovery system whenever removing refrigerant. When working with refrigerants you must comply with all local government safety and environmental laws.

DRAIN TRAPS

Each drain connection requires a separate drain trap supplied and installed by the contractor. For a trap to work properly, it must be primed. During freezing periods, primed traps may need to be heat traced or drain and plug the trap when not in use. If a drain connection has a smaller pipe inside, connect to the outer pipe only. Ensure that the trap is of adequate depth to operate against a static that includes the extra pressure drop for dirty filters.

Warning: Failure to properly trap each connection can result in drain pan flooding, standing water in unit, building damage, injury or death, cause poor air quality or other problems.

In some applications (e.g. heat recovery units) there may be additional drain connections inside the curb intended to be connected to the building drainage system. These drains must be connected and properly trapped. Cooling coil drain pans may have multiple drain connections extending outside the unit casing. Multiple drains may be connected to a common drain providing that each drain is individually trapped and vented to avoid problems from drains in different pressure zones. The drain must be properly sized and sloped. Size drain trap with the following minimum requirements: a) Units With Draw Through Drain Pans:

H1 = Negative Static

† x 1.5 + 3.5” (89mm)

H2 = Negative Static† x 0.75 + 2.5” (64mm)

b) Units With Blow Through Drain Pans:

H2 = Maximum Positive Static

† x 1.5

H1 = H2 + 0.5” (13mm) † Static Water Column (WC) in inches or mm

including fully loaded filters.

Ensure adequate clearance for properly sized drain traps.

FLUSHING AND DEGREASING OF WATER AND GLYCOL COILS

Coil tubing may contain material or residue from manufacturing, transportation or storage. To prevent possible damage to other components in the system, the coils must be flushed and degreased. Consult a qualified water treatment specialist.

9. Check the amperage draw of each motor and compressor. Refer to unit or motor rating plate for full

load amps. At the unit, check and record the voltage while it is running. For 3 phase power the phase to phase voltage imbalance should be less than 2%. A 2% voltage imbalance can cause up to a 10% current imbalance that will overheat motor windings. To calculate voltage imbalance (NEMA method) refer to the following example: Phase to phase voltage readings: 235V 236V 230V The average Voltage between legs is 233.7V (235+236+230)/3 Highest voltage deviation from average is: 233.7V – 230V = 3.7V Voltage imbalance percentage = Highest deviation divided by average X 100 3.7 / 233.7 x 100 = 1.6% This imbalance is less than 2% and therefore is OK If voltage imbalance is greater than two percent (2%), turn off main disconnect and contact the installing electrical contractor to have the voltage condition corrected.

10. Enable heating and/or cooling; refer to unit function for correct sequence and operation. 11. Confirm field wiring voltage drop is less than 10% when equipment is operating. 12. For the unit to operate properly a system air balance must be performed to ensure correct air flow.

Failure to do so can damage the equipment and/or building and can be a cause of poor indoor air quality.

13. Damper sections:

a) Flat mixing dampers:

Both the fresh air and return air dampers are fully open when the dampers are at a 45° angle when fully stroked. This provides optimum mixing of the air streams for this damper arrangement.

b) Angle mixing damper:

Angle mixing section dampers open to an angle of 90° when fully stroked. This provides optimum mixing of the air streams for this damper arrangement.

14. Some units are equipped with an adjustable coil air bypass. This must be field adjusted during the

system air balance to ensure proper air flow across the coil. Adjust the bypass to achieve coil pressure drop as stated on the submittal and/or the unit function sheet.

15. Check setting of fan limit control(s). Adjust high limit to value indicated below unless wiring diagram

shows a different value. High Limit 180°F (82°C) Fan Switch ON 125°F (52°C) OFF 90°F (32°C)

16. Set all controls to the settings indicated on the wiring diagram. 17. Re-install all access panels. 18. Remove any packing material or debris and dispose appropriately.

Warning: This unit is connected to high voltages. Electrical shock or death could occur if instructions are not followed. This equipment contains moving parts that can start unexpectedly. Injury or death could occur if instructions are not followed. All work should be performed by a qualified technician. Always disconnect and lock out power before servicing. DO NOT bypass any interlock or safety switches under any circumstances.

Warning: Proper commissioning and start-up of the air handling system is the responsibility of the installing contractor. It is recommended that an air balance be completed by a certified air balancing contractor to insure the air volume being delivered matches the unit rating plate. Failure to perform a proper air balance can cause injury or death, damage to the equipment, property damage, system operational problems, or be a cause of poor air quality. Moisture carry over can result from improper air flow.

This unit may incorporate one or more functions and a variety of controls and options to suit individual requirements. A description of the unit functions and options is shown on the Electrical Data Sheet and unit wiring diagram. Carefully check your wiring diagram to verify that all remote controls are properly located and correctly field wired. Some equipment may contain programmable unitary controllers or programmable logic controllers (PLC). Additional information can be obtained from the specific programmable control manufacturer. Often this information is available from the control manufacturer’s website.

OPTIONAL ELECTRIC HEAT (LM-K Units)

1. When the supply air fan is running and supplying the required volume of air, the air flow proving

switch will be closed. 2. Electric heat coils may operate as a heater and/or with dehumidification as reheat. 3. An LM-K electric heating unit incorporates an air proving switch, access section door switches and

two high limit controls. These controls prevent the heat from operating under low and no air flow conditions. On normal shut down the fan will delay off to cool the heating element.

4. Typically LM-K units use an Engineered Air HTRAC controller. Check the HTRAC manual for

additional information. 5. If the electric heater is controlled by a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) refer to the manufacturer’s

Operation Manual provided.

ELECTRICAL

1. Check all wiring for loose connections. 2. Check voltage at unit (while in operation). 3. Check amperage draw against unit rating plate. 4. Where possible, all contactors should be inspected to ensure that contacts are clean and are

making good contact. If contacts are abnormally pitted or burned badly, replace contactor. Single phasing and motor burnouts can result from bad contacts.

BELT ADJUSTMENT

For maximum belt and bearing life, pulley alignment and belt tension must be properly maintained. Only replace with belts of the proper type and size. NOTE: If belts are too tight or improperly aligned, the life expectancy of the motor(s), fan bearings and belt(s) are reduced. Alignment: Pulleys must be aligned to within 1/16” per foot (1mm per 760mm) of span. FOR FANS EQUIPPED WITH SPIDER BRACKETS: A properly adjusted V-belt rides the inside of the pulley faces. Because the sides of the belt wedge in the pulleys, the V-belt does not have to be extremely tight. It should be as loose as possible without slipping in the pulley grooves. Belt deflection: 3/4 “ (19mm) for each foot (300mm) of span between the pulleys. FOR FANS EQUIPPED WITH PILLOW BLOCK BEARINGS: Belt Deflection: Allow 1/64” (0.4mm) of deflection for each 1” (25.4 mm) of span length.

CAUTION: Excessive belt tension is the most frequent cause of belt wear, bearing wear and noise.

SET SCREWS

Check set screws on fan wheel, fan bearings, fan and motor pulleys for looseness on the shaft. Tighten where required. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PERFORM THIS CHECK BEFORE INITIAL START-UP, AFTER A RUN-IN PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS AND THEN ON 4 MONTH INTERVALS.

CAUTION: OVERTIGHTENING SET SCREWS CAN DAMAGE BEARINGS.

NOTE: Motors that run in severe conditions should be greased as specified by the motor manufacturer.

FILTERS

Filter-changing intervals can be based on the pressure drop across the filter or by calendar scheduling or visual inspection. Scheduled intervals should be between one and six months, depending on the pollutant loading from indoor and outdoor air. More-frequent changes may be required during the economizer season. Units that operate with high levels of outside air should have filters removed (or moved to winter filter location if available) during the winter months in areas that have heavy frost or snow. Plugged or excessively dirty filters can cause damage to the equipment. See submittal record for filter quantities, sizes and types. Use same size and type for replacement. A. High Velocity Permanent:

It is important that the filters be checked and cleaned regularly during the period immediately following installation, in order to determine the best service interval. To clean, rinse with water. Shake off excess water and re-install. These filters do not require an oil adhesive.

B. Pleated Throwaway and/or Replaceable Media (Cartridge, Bag):

Replacement filters can be obtained from any Engineered Air representative. In some applications the used filters/media may contain chemical or biological hazards. All local, regional and national regulations for safety and disposal should always be followed.

VFD ENCLOSURE Filters may be located on the air inlet of VFD enclosures. Filter-changing intervals can be based on calendar scheduling or visual inspection. Scheduled intervals should be between one and six months, depending on the pollutant loading in the enclosure area.

CONTROLS

Annually clean and recalibrate all controls, check for proper operation, and repair or replace any faulty controls. Check all damper hardware settings every three months. Replace blown fuses with equivalent size and type fuse. Failure to do so can result in damage to the unit.

CONTROL ENCLOSURE VENTILATION

Control enclosures are often ventilated in summer to provide component cooling. A manually adjustable slide damper is provided for adjustment and seasonal shut off. The slide damper should be closed for winter operation and opened for summer operation.

Page 23: LM & LM-K SERIES - Engineered Air

A LM & LM-K MANUAL

23 of 24 Feb 06 R4

OUTDOOR AIR INTAKES, MIXING SECTIONS AND DAMPERS

Outdoor air intakes, screens, and adjacent areas shall be checked semi-annually for cleanliness, integrity and proper operation. Adjust dampers where required.

COILS

Inspect coils and drain pans for cleanliness and biological growth once per year during the cooling season or more often as required.

Warning: Dirty coils can be a cause of poor air quality. Failure to maintain clean coils can cause injury or death, damage to the equipment, property damage or system operational problems. Moisture carry over can result from dirty coils.

The external surface of finned coils can be cleaned using a low pressure water spray and a brush. Coil fins are easily damaged. Do not use high pressure steam or water to clean coils; it will permanently damage the coil. When using cleaning additives or solutions they must be compatible with the coil materials or coatings. Use a fin comb to straighten any damaged or bent fins. Coil Winterization: Water coils that are not in use must be protected from freezing. Coils should be drained and blown out with compressed air and then filled and drained several times with appropriate strength pre-mixed inhibited HVAC glycol or other suitable fluid. Do not use propylene glycol with CPVC piping.

Dx Coil Bypass Dampers

Engineered Air cooling equipment may be provided with application specific DX coil bypass dampers. If bypass dampers are set to allow excessive air to bypass the DX coil, the system will operate with lower suction pressure and capacity than designed, which could lead to coil freezing. If bypass dampers are set to allow excessive air through the DX coil, elevated suction temperatures could cause premature wear on compressors. Bypass dampers must be field adjusted to match the static pressure drop provided in the Unit Function, after equipment airflow is balanced. Adhering to this procedure will ensure proper airflow across the DX coil when mechanical cooling is operating.

ELECTRIC HEAT

Warning: This unit is connected to high voltages. Electrical shock or death could occur if instructions are not followed. This equipment contains moving parts that can start unexpectedly. Injury or death could occur if instructions are not followed. All work should be performed by a qualified technician. Always disconnect power before servicing. DO NOT bypass any interlock or safety switches under any circumstances.

Ensure that sufficient airflow as marked on the unit rating plate is passing through the heater. Overheating damage can be caused by insufficient airflow. Visual Inspection: Signs of potential problems: Dust accumulation on the coil, signs of overheating on the heater frame, traces of water or rust on the electric heater control box. The open coil elements are self-cleaning and require no maintenance. They should be given a yearly visual inspection. Elements viewed in the dark with the unit operating should not have areas that are glowing bright red.

Page 24: LM & LM-K SERIES - Engineered Air

A LM & LM-K MANUAL

24 of 24 Feb 06 R4

Electrical Inspection:

Two weeks after startup, all electrical connections to heating elements, contactors, terminals and main power lugs should be checked and tightened. These connections should be checked monthly for the first four months and twice per heating season thereafter. Off Season Maintenance: Where tubular heating elements are used it is strongly recommended that you start the heating system from time to time. This will prevent moisture from migrating through the terminal gaskets and into the heating elements.
